Wowee..Now isnt this a nice response with people taking sides and everything. :-) Shaun,
> Ryan, I may be getting out of my league here, but if the makers of PHP > didn't care about us here in the UK then why was this function created: > gmmktime(); I didnt say they didnt care about you in the UK, or any particular place, I'm not in the states (or from there) but from Sweden, read the below part and tell me how it sounds: "Hi, anybody know how php calculates Swedish postal holidays?" The above will get me a couple of replies on reading smart questions or some asking: where the **** is Sweden? ( :-p maybe..depending on the lists mood) Now this would get me answers: Hi, I have searched the archives and google for a function that lists Swedish postal holidays, I found nothing, anybody know if anybody wrote such a function? (a couple of hours later) Ok, since you guys didnt answer (or I got smartass answers) I have noted down all the holidays, put then into an array (or the DB) and now am doing this to calcalute it blah blah blah...but the results I am getting is blah blah blh heres my code..any ideas on what i am doing wrong? If you read the above you immd know that the person who wrote the above has searched and is trying to solve their problem, not hopeing we will write the code for you, correct me if I am wrong (anybody on the list) but the list is for people who have taken the first step/s and then need help, there are exceptions of course, like for instance someone says: "I forgot the function that does this: (description here) can someone remind me please?" or "sometime back (insert topic here) was discussed...I need to use that solution anybody remember what it was? I couldnt find it in the archives" etc etc To block quote Jason Wong: > And in any case reposting the exact same question will still annoy people > no > matter what the time interval.

And for the record, I didnt "single you out" the post was just irritating...the rest of you who dont agree..thats your opinion..and the rest of you who got pissed at me...bite me.
